We Care Hospice Volunteer Mission Statement:
"Serving beside our staff, volunteers work both directly and indirectly toward the goal of enhancing the quality of life for We Care Patients.
Our volunteers are ,literally, the heart of We Care Hospice, providing a special kind of caring and compassion for our patients and their families. Every day, our volunteers across the state make a difference in the lives of so many people.
Whether its offering a listening ear to patients and families, assisting with daily household activities for patients, providing grief support, companioning to loved ones or sharing your personal expertise to help promote hospice care, the hours you give to We Care Hospice families can be the most rewarding experiences of your life.
Plain and simple, volunteering means doing something "good" for someone, without expecting anything in return. As a volunteer for We Care Hospice, you "do good" every day. It takes very special, caring people to give of themselves unselfishly. If you'd like to be one of them, here are some examples of the activities you'll assist with:
-
reading to a patient, or holding a hand
-
staying with a patient while family members take a needed break or keep an appointment
-
shopping or doing errands for a patient
-
providing transportation
-
listening
-
helping patients write or tell their life stories
-
cooking, light household chores
-
providing help with makeup and hair
-
